"A Sleepless Night and a Fresh Start"




Entry #113

Last night was one of those nights where sleep evaded me, and I found myself wide awake when my faithful furry companion decided to rise and shine. Despite the exhaustion, our morning routine went smoothly - we went outside, played, and made the bed for him. However, instead of feeling energized and ready to tackle the day, I felt drained and in desperate need of a nap.

The chaos began the night before when I discovered that my bed needed repairs. The consequences of this debacle went beyond just the bed itself. I had to move everything into the office, which was already cluttered with my collectibles and recent shipments. The office space was overwhelmed, and I realized that my current setup wasn't working. It was time for a change.

On a more positive note, I received clearance from my doctor yesterday, which meant I could refocus on my weight loss journey. I've been putting it off due to my injury, but I haven't forgotten about my goal. In fact, I've tweaked my plan after consulting with my doctor, and I'm determined to make progress over the next week. The gym session helped me feel more alert and energized, and catching up with the gym family and staff was a great bonus.

After a refreshing shower, shave, and steam room session, I felt slightly better. However, the exhaustion from the previous night eventually caught up with me. I struggled to complete my to-do list, but I finally managed to tick off all the tasks. Perhaps I should be grateful for the small victories - completing my tasks, spending time with friends, and enjoying quality time with my faithful companion.

As I reflect on the day's events, I'm reminded that some days are tougher than others. But with a good night's sleep, I'm hoping to bounce back stronger and more energized tomorrow.

🛡️ Side Quest: The Push-Up Pact — Level 3

Image
The day’s work has weighed on you like a stubborn shadow. Back day at the gym left your shoulders tight, your arms heavy, your mind buzzing with fatigue. And yet…you almost—almost—skipped the Pact. But hesitation isn’t rewarded here. Palms meet the floor, cold and unforgiving. Fingers splay as if to anchor yourself to reality. Core tightens; breath deepens. The first push drags you down, every muscle protesting. The tile beneath your palms is hard, unyielding, and the faint echo of your own heartbeat fills your ears. Second push. Your shoulders scream, your arms tremble. Sweat beads along your brow, slides into your eyes, stings—but you push through. Third push. Fourth. By the fifth, rhythm arrives like a quiet ally: shoulders align, core braced, every movement deliberate. Breath steady, body moving as one. The burn intensifies, sweet and sharp. It courses through your chest, down your arms, into every fiber of your being. Each push is a coin pressed into the vault of persi...
